Cinetopicalities In Brief No. 16 (1938)

Titles read: “CINETOPICALITIES IN BRIEF“. Various locations of events. In Germany we see women doing graceful exercises to piano accompaniment in a field beside a lake. They all wear short white dresses. Other girls sit beside the piano and sway to the music. Then all the girls come running down a field, past a statue of a woman in a graceful, leaping posture. In the United States of America we see tennis star Vincent Richards playing tennis on a court with his son, Vincent Junior. At a swing benefit for the musicians’ hospital in the United States we see young people (African-American and white) enjoying a marathon concert of 25 bands playing in a sports stadium (daylight). Great shots of people dancing in the stands and on the grass; seated spectators bouncing around in their seats to the music; a sound technician moves to the beat and makes ’pecking’ motions with his head; a cameraman jigs about while filming; brief shots of the musicians. Good shots of black and white couples doing the lindy-hop
